Description Barry Levinson

To whom it may concern,

I would like to suggest a feature of importing and exporting the JAVA compiler error/warning settings only.

Rationale:
I am part of a large team of developers that work with Eclipse on the same source code files. Currently, in order to have the same settings on all developer stations, we need to manually check/uncheck several checkboxes on several error/warning dialogs.
We cannot use the export/import of the preferences, since all have their unique preferences, yet, since we are working on the same code, we want to have the same style of error/warning checking.

I hope I made myself clear.

Thank you,

Barry Levinson

If you use project custom preferences, then these will be stored automatically in source control, and recognized from thereon.

Look for a .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs file at the root of each project (you may need to play with your view filtering options to reveal these).
